crcrain, sure he's allowed 200 dyno pulls and 100 passes, any of you are, please, go for it. Street tires are a tire that are DOT approved, which make them legal for street use, so there is no "come on Dave" to it. We drove the car to the track on these tires and I've driven it around on them, if a cop pulls me over they are stamped DOT on the side, that makes them street tires.

Again what does this have to do with intercoolers?

The power a car makes is directly related to the intercooler that is on it. That's what it has to do with intercoolers.

That link maybe true but you're not talking about power you were on about tires.

Congrats on the decision....Why though did you go with the Radtec -- I don't see any flow or bench data....Just that it can handle 650hp (crank I guess), and is lighter and smaller than a previous version ??

I have been looking for a FMIC and been testing as well. It seems the Radtec end tank design is sound (unlike a lot of FMICs), but I would be interested in testing....Please let me know your results.

Wow, nice copy of the AMS end tank design from EVO400. Thinner and lighter and more aerodynamic? Nice description. The USA cores are flat because they are bar and plate and better than the tube and fin design.

This reminds me of "his" double pumper that he offers. I guess rather than buy them from us he used our idea and it's a hack job.

"We have worked extensively with RADTEC over the years both on EVO projects and many other's with great results . RADTEC are a small team of specialized Rad & Intercooler manufactures based in the Midlands here in the UK .

They have used there knowledge to provide us a new range of products to meet market demands .

What we have co-developed is using the latest bespoke core design a intercooler that will exceed the efficiency of 99% of the current markets claims .
Our new core is not only lighter it is also thinner in profile too. This is due to new core design's which gain even better flow and more efficiency as a result. Our core is also aerodynamic in profile which allows less pressure drop due to turbulance at higher speeds .You note most intercoolers from the USA have a flat square profile's this is not ideal and cause's loss of flow at higher speeds.

This units fits EVO 7/8/9 but will fit EVO 4/5/6 with small modifications

Ideal for Remapped cars ,FPGREEN Upgrades ,GT35R conversions . "





They can't even speak english.... so sad... probably another 18 y/o vendor..

While there may have been a bunch of BS and bickering in this thread, I certainly learned something from it. Competition keeps everyone honest .
